Abstract
In this paper we have analyzed the relationships between economic growth and transportation supply in a multiregional multisectoral system. We have provided tools for identifying possible bottlenecks in transportation infrastructure which hamper development possibilities for some regions, and proposed a general method for tackling the problem of augmenting the transportation network in order to achieve balanced growth with either the minimum cost or the minimum number of links added. Our work has been based on the analysis, in terms of dynamic equilibrium properties of the system, of the trade patterns resulting from the matching of regional demands and the provision of transportation infrastructure. This does not limit the generality of the results since we have mainly dealt with the topological structure of the problem. However, the dimensions of trade coefficientes and physical flows determine the actual solution of the eigenvalue problem: although of great relevance in practice, this subject has not been tackled here, leaving room for further work.
